point Of junction at the same time, they
walked on together. The man was carry

hand he held the legs Of a live chicken, in
the other a cane, and he was leading
goat. They neared dark ravine. Said
the woman: ~ am afraid to 60 through
that ravine with you; it is lonely place,
and you might overpower me and kiss me
by force" Said the man: "How can

An Indians Ingenuity.

A Western emigrant having stolen a
horse from an Indian, the latter convicted
him of the offense by very ingenious
plan. He complained to a Judge, who had
the emigrsnt, with the horse, brought be-
fore him. The prisoner swore that the
animal belonged to him, and that he had
brought II from the East, so that the
Judge did not find himself in position to
convict He was even about to return the
horse to him, when the Indian said: "lf
you will allow me, will prove that the
animal belongs to me-" Immediately he
pulled of his cloak, and covering the
horses head, asked the emigrant Of which
eye it was blindi The robber was much
embarrassed at the question, but never
theless, not TO delay the court, he replied
at hazard that it was the right eye The
Indian, uncoveriug the head, exclaimed;

decided that the animal was his.
